Just when you thought it was safe to own your own house, your carbon monoxide detector goes off. And so it did at about 10:00 this morning. Not for long, and not consistently but is that really something you should mess with?I don't think so...
So yes, we had the South Bend Fire Department here in our house looking at our breakfast mess and stepping over the multitude of morning toys spread throughout the house. And when they were done, they called the NIPSCO guy to make sure there were no issues related to the gas service.
When all was said and done, there was nothing wrong with the house, but they suggested we buy another carbon monoxide detector. Nobody told me these little devices have a shelf life of around 5 years...
Really makes you think. You know, when everything is going well, you feel pretty safe, then all it takes is a couple beeps from an alarm and your whole world is turned upside down. I guess it's just one of those things you have to get used to when you own a house - or live in one for that matter...
